On Of Goats and Poisoned Oranges

Ciku Kimeria, Of Goats and Poisoned Oranges

- It really is a strange situation to find oneself in - that of attending your own funeral. -

- It was not explicitly thought that my language was inferior to English, but there was a general feeling that mastery of the English language was the preserve of the truly privileged, and we had to show it off as best as we could. -

- To call my mother overbearing would be a simple way of saying that the English language has failed her by not having a stronger word to really define her. -

- Loneliness is a strange thing to bring up with anyone. If you are lonely, yet you are surrounded by people they think that you are saying that they somehow cannot provide you what you really need.-

- The strangest thing about nightmares is that once you explain them to someone else they never sound quite as scary as they were when you had them. -
